10 Worst Case Booking Scenarios For WrestleMania 35
6. Your Workrate Fave On The Kickoff Show
The WrestleMania 35 card is huge.
13 matches have been confirmed so far, but that number could hit 16 or 17 by the time next week's Raw and SmackDown are done with. This is going to be a monster show, and potentially the longest in history in terms of match count and runtime, with some outlets predicting the event could go for 8 hours in total.
Sacrifices are inevitable. Potential bangers will be relegated to the Kickoff Show, and while WWE don't deserve the heat for making these moves, they're definitely going to upset someone when they have to shunt Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese onto the pre-show. It's inevitable.
WWE always catch flak for shunting the Cruiserweights in the death slot, but they'll catch even more if they throw Bayley and Sasha Banks down there as well. Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio is another possibility. On top of this, any Tag Team Title matches that go down will almost certainly get the Kickoff treatment, and this year's heavy focus on women's wrestling means that the battle royal will probably get put on the main card, leaving another pre-show spot to fill.
The outrage won't be worth it, but people will be salty when their workrate fave gets dunted.
